Did you know the people of the European Union are now being force-fed bugs and they don't even know it? Stefan Stanford sent me a link to that little tidbit of news this morning. "Crushed bugs" are being turned into a food additive, which is then being used in pizzas, pastas and cereals all across the EU.

Defatted house crickets are on the menu for Europeans across the continent, without the vast majority of them knowing it is now in their food.

"This comes thanks to a European Commission ruling passed earlier this month," reports RT.

"As per the decision, which cited the scientific opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, the additive is safe to use in a whole range of products, including but not limited to cereal bars, biscuits, pizza, pasta-based products, and whey powder."

But don't worry, because the crickets first have to be checked to make sure they "discard their bowel content" before being frozen.

We have already discussed and collectively seen the unprecedented rise in food prices, and the reports of mad scientists experimenting with adding mRNA vaccines to our vegetables during the growing process, along with the continued food shortages, as seen in recent images sent to us by ANP readers since the last food news piece, so this "bug additive" in the EU isn't as surprising as it should be.

No doubt they will be trying that here in the U.S. is short order once they have attempted to normalize the practice.

All the aforementioned reasons above give us sufficient reason to learn to grow and store our own foods, as our ancestors did, and as the Amish still do today.
